17.47.080 Other requirements.
1. Walls and fences. Fencing of individual lots in the R&B zone is prohibited except as otherwise provided for herein.
2. Perimeter screening.
a. A masonry or concrete fence seven (7) feet high, shall be constructed and maintained along any property line between the R&B zone and a residential use or a residential zone. The fence shall be constructed and maintained by the owner of the non-residential development. Perimeter fencing shall not exceed eight (8) feet in height without approval by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission may approve a landscaping screen in lieu of a fence, a fence other than a masonry fence or approve a fence height greater than seven (7) feet if it makes the following findings:
i. The proposed fence/landscape screen provides an adequate buffer for the adjoining residential use.
ii. The appearance of the fence/landscape screen will not detract from the residential use and/or commercial use of the property.
iii. The proposed fence/landscape screen will shield the residential use from noise, storage, traffic or any other characteristic of the non-residential use that is incompatible with residential uses. The Planning Commission may waive or adjust this fence/screening requirement upon findings that the fence is not needed to protect adjacent residential uses from adverse impacts and that such impacts can be mitigated in another appropriate manner.
b. A fifteen (15) foot landscaped planter shall be provided on the R&B zone side of the masonry wall with deciduous trees having a minimum three (3) inch caliper, or evergreen trees having a minimum height of ten (10) feet, planted on a minimum spacing of every twenty-five (25) feet.
